Week 13 NFL Snapshots: Football's Favorite Holiday (CHFF)

-The Packers last five opponents have scored 31, 27, 27, 27, and 26 points. Green Bay is 1-3-1 in that stretch.

-The Lions have turned the ball over 13 times in the past four games, but are miraculously 2-2 in that frame. The wins were by one and two points.

KEY MATCHUP: To think, even with Aaron Rodgers likely missing this game, Green Bay would have sole possession of first place for a few days with a win. Green Bay's averaged 22.17 yards per point without Rodgers, down from their 16.44 rating on the year.

Even with Rodgers likely sitting out Thanksgiving for the Return of Jedi Matt Flynn, the Lions are capable of being thrown on. Detroit's 90.75 defensive passer rating, and 11.99 yards per completion allowed, means Flynn can burn 'em deep.

The day of the year where we're supposed to be thankful for what we have, and then go out at 8 o'clock to stand in front of Best Buy and K-Mart to acquire more.

The time when Rob Ryan impresses family and friends alike by matching his age in platefuls of food consumed.

That glorious morn when my high school alma mater, the Millville Thunderbolts, tramples the Vineland Fighting Clan underfoot of their power running game.

The day where there is to be no stress outside of the cooking, unless you have players from your fantasy team active during dinner. Remember: if you're not pensively checking your roster on your phone during the blessing, you don't deserve to win.

So Happy Thanksgiving to all of the readers here at Cold Hard Football Facts, and enjoy these snapshots and factoids. I do them because you've been blessed.
